It appeared in evidence that deceased left home in the morning for the purpose of chopping some fire wood, and as he did not return, after the dinner horn had been sounded twice, his daughter went after him and found him lying near a tree he had been falling, a branch of which had struck him in the face and forehead, fracturing the skull. He was quite dead when found. The Jury returned a verdict of "accidentally killed."
